    those are cool, but how would I just change the icon? these seem to make the whole menu like in win7, am I missing something?
    Thanks for your quick response :)

    So I tried open shell out, but it doesn't let me select the modern win10 menu instead of an old windows 7 menu or something. Any way that you know of to change this?

    I can't recall at the moment, but you used to be able to set 'wheel-click'/'middle click' to open the standard Windows 10 Menu.

    I use Classic Shell, the older version of Open Shell. From the Start Menu, if I select Start Menu (Windows), I get a standard Windows 10 Tile style display and the customized Start Menu button remains as I had configured it.

    WAIT! The tiled start menu only remains for an instant. Perhaps this is not the solution you seek.
